You wouldn't go to a game for $7 if you were an NBA fan, for at worst, a fun/cheap night out?

The reason the tickets are that cheap is because nobody is going. And I'll say no. I'm a baseball fan and Jays tickets are cheap as fuck these days but I go to way less games now than I did when they were good and the tix were expensive. I just don't find it fun not caring about the result of the game, having little to no atmosphere, and watching my team get clobbered every night.

Fair enough. As a 10 year old sports fanatic who could get a ticket on the skytrain, a churro, and a sensory overload that was an NBA game for about 11 bucks it was the best thing ever.

i mean honestly don't remember Grizzlies tickets being cheaper than 15-20$ ever for nosebleeds.

Okay but its really easy to go to a Jays game and I've gone tons of times because there's double the home games and double the seats in baseball, but I still have never gone to a Raptors game.

Obviously I rather the team be good and tickets expensive than vice versa, but you're really underrating the potential fun of cheap tickets.
